Dabda – DDDD!
South Korean band Dabda release their first new music since 2023, with “DDDD!” on Electric Muse.
“DDDD!” is a track where a complex structure coexists with an intuitively clear emotional arc. It is the result of two years of change and growth for the band. As always, Dabda sings about youth. DDDD! carries a sense of encouragement for those caught between drifting and setting sail, giving them a gentle push forward.
Over the past two years, Dabda has been anything but idle. Following the release of their EP Yonder in August 2023, the band has graced festival stages at home and abroad & embarking on tours across multiple countries. In Korea, they have performed at festivals such as Zandari Festa, Pentaport Rock Festival, DMZ Peace Train Music Festival, Asian Pop Festival, Countdown Fantasy, and TheSub. Abroad, they’ve appeared at Vagabond Festival (Taiwan), Bangkok Music City (Thailand), Minami Wheels (Japan), Neon Oasis Festival (Taiwan), among others.
They’ve shared stages with local bands in venues across Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok, and Taipei, and have also hosted collaborative shows in Hongdae live clubs when Asian bands visited Korea. These experiences have been a source of creative nourishment for Dabda—fueling their ability to generate energy on stage and amplify it with the audience. They’ve gained more friends through music, and most importantly, they’ve begun reflecting positively on why they are making music here and now.
The first tangible result of that reflection is their new single “DDDD!”, their first release in two years. Coincidentally, the single’s release date marks the start of Dabda’s Asia Tour, which includes six shows across four countries.
